In Central Georgia, 80 miles from Atlanta and at the southern end of the Bluge Ridge range of the Appa- lachian Mountains, there is a happy colony of cheerful men, women, youths and children, all of whom are handi- capped by infantile paralysis.

Many have gone there resigned to a life in a wheel chair or in bed and have walked away on crutches. Some have been able to return to their old mode of life with the aid of only one crutch and a « A few have graduated to a short ce and a single cane.
